Power-QWK Mail Packet Processor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Mail Packet Processor's actions are mainly automatic.
Depending upon how you have configured Power-QWK, however, the
Processor may have to pause occasionally to ask you whether to
proceed with some action.
For instance, if you have not configured auto-processing of .QWK
packets then, whenever Power-QWK detects that a new mail packet
is waiting to be processed in your download directory, it will
ask the question
Add xxxxxxxx.QWK to message base? (Y)es (N)o (D)elete
If you answer Y then the named .QWK mail packet will be
unpacked and applied to the message base applicable to the
BBS of origin of the packet, as indicated in the CONTROL.DAT
file within the packet.
If you answer N then Power-QWK ignores the named packet and
moves on to the next one (if any) waiting to be processed in
your download directory.
If you answer D then Power-QWK asks you for confirmation
before deleting the named packet and moving on to the next
one.
When Power-QWK finishes processing a mail packet, it's actions
once again depend on how you have configured the package.
If you have told Power-QWK to auto-delete used .QWK packets then
the current packet is deleted and processing continues with the
next new packet.
If you have asked for used packets to be renamed then, if you
have also configured auto-processing of .QWK packets, then
Power-QWK renames the current packet and moves on to the next,
otherwise, Power-QWK displays the Rename Mask for confirmation
before renaming the packet.
For more information on Rename Masks, switch off auto-delete
in Power-QWK Configuration Manager and then, when asked for
a Rename Mask, press F1 for Help.
